Introduction
------------

Wmtop maintains a view of the 3 top CPU (or memory) consuming
processes displaying the amount of CPU used as a horizontal bar.
Very useful for spotting those rogue Netscape processes!

To compile:
Type 'autoreconf -fvi', './configure', and 'make'.

(Note that in previous versions, you had to indicate 'make linux' or 'make
freebsd' -- this is now taken care of by ./configure.)

To install:
If you are superuser type 'make install'

Instructions
------------

Invoke wmtop using the command 'wmtop'

Use -display and -geometry options in the usual way.

Use the command line option '-s <time in milliseconds>' to control the
frequency of sampling of the processes and '-r <time in milliseconds>' to
control how often the display is updated.

Use -U to watch only your own processes rather than all of them. While
running, a middle mouse click changes between the display of user processes
and all processes.

Use -x <regexp> to exclude processes whose name matches a given pattern
from the list.

Use -m to display physical memory usage instead of CPU, but is currently
only supported under Linux. While running, a left mouse click changes
between cpu and memory display.

Use -c 'command' to have a command executed when you right click on wmtop.
For example you could launch a window with the real 'top' command for a closer
look at a rogue process.

Use -a <1..X> to choose a theme for wmtop.

Example
-------

wmtop -U -x '^wm' -c "xterm -e top"

Means list my own processes that are not dockapps. Launch top on a right
click.

Caveats
-------
As far as I know this only works under Linux or FreeBSD with a
/proc filesystem. Tested by me under Linux 2.2.5 and FreeBSD 3.2
(PAO) and FreeBSD 4.0 on a Sony Vaio 505TX. Reportedly works also
on other platforms including various combnations of Linux and
FreeBSD on Intel and Alpha CPU machines. See TODO file for information
about porting progress.
